Welcome, friends!

We have a special two-part episode, and I'm joined by my cohost, The Daughter of Lilith! A year has passed since our last collaboration, and we're coming in hot with this one. We're talking about the hypersexualization of BIPOC children and teens.

The hypersexualization of children is omnipresent in today's society. Whether through social media, television, movies, and fashion, it leads to an undeniable eroticization of childhood, forcing children to become adults before their time.

We might ruffle a few feathers with this conversation, but we're telling it as it is!

Listener discretion is advised as we talk about minors, school shootings, war, and murder.

ARE. YOU. READY?
